In their own words
LibertyBans
LibertyBans is a free Minecraft punishment administration plugin designed for large networks as well as single servers with limited resources. It handles bans, mutes, warnings, kicks, temporary punishments, and removal commands for players and IP addresses. Configurable templates can set punishment type, reason, and duration, while exemptions restrict which staff members may punish others. The plugin can identify suspected alternate accounts, apply IP bans to them, show suspected accounts with a command, and notify staff when they join. It supports Bukkit, Spigot, Paper, Purpur, Folia, BungeeCord, Waterfall, Fabric, Sponge, and Velocity. Storage options include local HyperSQL or remote MariaDB, MySQL, and PostgreSQL databases; multiple proxies and server instances can be synchronized. LibertyBans also provides a developer API for other plugins. It requires Java 17, and Fabric installations also require adventure-platform-mod. For mutes on a Velocity proxy, SignedVelocity must be installed on both proxy and backend servers. The project says its dependencies use secure SHA-512 hashes and that builds are reproducible so checksums can be verified.
Player Report
Player Report is a free, self-hosted plugin for handling player reports on Minecraft servers. Players can submit a report with /report, with optional reason selection and confirmation through GUIs. Moderators review reports in-game, change statuses, assign handlers, and search or sort reports by player, ID, reason, or handler. They can teleport to involved players or saved locations and remove reports. Servers can optionally reward confirmed reports with commands or items; rewards can be stored while players are offline and claimed with /reports claim. The plugin supports Discord webhooks for report and update events, as well as PlaceholderAPI statistics and integrations. Reports and pending rewards can be stored in local YAML files or MySQL/MariaDB. Configuration includes report limits, cooldowns, reason modes, retention settings, and options for features, messages, and visuals. The resource lists Minecraft 1.21 as its native and tested major version and says it supports Folia. It is offered as a 4.6 MB .jar download. Aevox is named as its author, and its first release date is Apr 25, 2016.
